seeing as copilot says at the start of every conversation that it will be recorded, not to mention their massive (non)privacy policy and terms of use, this isn't really news. this is just a fact

alternate headline: company looks at data they tell you they will monitor

if you got it from Amazon, they can preload your account and wifi details that you previously used with their products

At this point, the best thing would just to move to an instance using mbin, a fork created by many devs who contributed to and wanted to improve kbin but were upset at lack of progress. With Ernest's many absences all the improvements weren't being merged. Many instances using the name kbin, such as the one I'm on, have switched to mbin long ago and have many of the features and fixes that have been requested and long waited for.

I kinda assumed this was the case, and some higher ups likely know this too. I know in Ontario, when you get fingerprinted by the police, it's not just your fingers, they'll take your whole palm print. Billions of people in the world, very unlikely anyone is 100% unique.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It's been great having a rolling release distro that I don't have to worry about breaking with updates

It exists and people hate it. If you want reddit go to reddit.

Rewards? Oh yeah, less money in my pocket and price increases every few months? Sounds way more convenient than ublock and revanced. Rather pay with my money for an ad-free experience and line the pockets of a rich corporation. My time is too valuable to compile revanced once every few weeks!

Ugh, the possibility of accurate reporting and display of what's really going on?

DISGUSTING! Sweep it under the rug and spout opinions as facts!

it's pretty easy and convenient currently. install magisk delta (for proper magisk hide support) and playintegrityfix and things should work no problem.

been using google wallet on lmodroid without issue. even have a module installed for unlimited google photos backups :)

As much as omegle was a cesspit, there are already even sketchier alternatives up and running. This will be a wild goose chase with no end in sight unless sites like this get rid of all privacy and log every single interaction and step up their moderation.

Like piracy sites and other illegal/grey areas, take one source down and two more will appear, or however the saying goes.

I switched to Vivaldi a couple months ago, and previously used brave in the past before growing to dislike it. It surprises me how many brave-heads ignore Vivaldi's existence. It's just a better Brave. No crypto BS and lots of poweruser features.

LMOdroid

Similar to Lineage but a few extras. I've been enjoying it a lot. Also seems to have better compatibility with gapps if you choose to install them. Been running Nikgapps full no issue where on lineage pixel launcher would crash frequently.
